Radical might be hyperbole, but this is certainly an interesting collection of images generated from data. In this case centering around agriculture.

The caption for the image at the right states:

AGRICULTURE
Bill Rankin, 2005

Where does our food come from? (And where should we expect to find the “meat lobby”?) But notice the marked discontinuity in soybean production between the Dakotas and Minnesota or Iowa — different reporting methodology, or subsidies? And why is chicken production so clustered? Questions too sophisticated to be answered by these simple maps, alas.

Data source: Agricultural Census of the US.
